Pulmonary agents can affect the body by acting on the respiratory system. They can cause bronchoconstriction, inflammation, or other changes that impact lung function and breathing. Long-term exposure to these agents can lead to respiratory diseases and other health problems.

Pulmonary (choking) agents primarily enter the victim by what means?
Pulmonary agents primarily enter the victim through inhalation, where the toxic substance is breathed into the lungs and absorbed into the bloodstream. These agents can cause damage to the respiratory system and lead to serious health consequences.
What are systemic and pulmonary circulation?
Systemic circulation is the flow of blood from the heart to all parts of the body and back to the heart, while pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood between the heart and the lungs. Systemic circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues, while pulmonary circulation is responsible for oxygenating the blood and removing carbon dioxide.
Do the pulmonary and systemic circuits contain the same amount of blood?
No, the pulmonary circuit contains less blood than the systemic circuit. The pulmonary circuit sends deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation, while the systemic circuit delivers oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body's tissues.
What is a pulmonary hearing?
There is no medical condition called "pulmonary hearing." Pulmonary refers to the lungs, while hearing refers to auditory perception. These are two separate systems in the body and are not directly related.
What is pulmonary arch?
The pulmonary arch is the blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated. It is part of the circulatory system that helps supply the body with oxygen-rich blood.
Is a soman a choking agent?
No, it is a nerve agent, so it would affect the nervous system. Choking agents affect the pulmonary system.
Pulmonary agents primarily enter the victim by what means?
Inhalation.
The primary toxicity of pulmonary agents is to the?
airway inhalation
Pulmonary (choking) agents primarily enter the victim by what means?
Pulmonary agents primarily enter the victim through inhalation, where the toxic substance is breathed into the lungs and absorbed into the bloodstream. These agents can cause damage to the respiratory system and lead to serious health consequences.
How do pulmonary agents cause pulmonary edema?
Pulmonary agents can cause pulmonary edema by disrupting the normal balance of fluid in the lungs, leading to fluid accumulation in the air sacs (alveoli) and interstitial spaces. This can result from mechanisms such as increased capillary permeability, inflammation, or increased hydrostatic pressure in the pulmonary circulation. Ultimately, this leads to impaired gas exchange and breathing difficulties.
Nerve agents affect the way in which nerve cells transmit signals in the body this process is called?
Neurotransmission
Pulmonary relates to which part of the human body?
Pulmonary relates to the lungs in the human body.
Why pulmonary is an artery rather than vein?
in our body there are both, pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein
Will infectious agents always affect the same organ or tissue they have entered?
No, infectious agents don't always affect the same organ or tissue they have entered. For instance, chickenpox virus (varicella) enters the body through the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract, but spreads throughout the body.
Pulmonary cyanogen nerve and riot control agents are categories of what CBRNE agent?
